Scotland’s 3×3 Basketball Team Falls to New Zealand at Commonwealth Games

Despite a strong start, the Scottish side drops to third in Pool A as Australia and New Zealand dominate, while both wheelchair squads hold top spots in their pools.

On a busy day of competition at the Commonwealth Games, Scotland's men's 3×3 basketball squad suffered a 21-13 defeat at the hands of New Zealand, a result that pushes them down to third place in Pool A.

The loss came after an earlier victory over Nigeria, where the Scots edged out a 21-16 win, but the team now sits behind both Australia and New Zealand, who each boast four wins with Australia holding a game in hand.

The standings place Scotland in a challenging position as they prepare for their next fixture, aiming to rebound from the recent setback.

Wheelchair basketball dominance

In the wheelchair events, Scotland's men's team secured first place in Pool B with a convincing 18-6 triumph over Malaysia, while the women's side shares the top spot with Wales after a 21-4 victory against India.

Both Scottish wheelchair squads have started the Games strongly, each posting two wins, and they will look to maintain their momentum in upcoming matches.
